Make no mistake this is not an ill timed Halloween kinda thing, PupaJim's Vampayaa is a bit more timeless than that. No offense Emch Subatomic but this one is not aimed squarely at your average blood-sucking party freak ;)
I can still remember the first time i heard PupaJim sing i was very impressed. The second time i thought uh oh.. it's becoming a gimmick, that 8 bit computerized business, but WOWWW! this new track proves that PupaJim is in fact Horace Andy's French godson!
Nothing but respect for this deep steppers release on Mungo's Hifi's Scrub a dub label. It's an instant, limited edition classic.
As is usually the case the original is the strongest track, but my favorite remix is (very predictably) the RSD workout. The Marcus Visionary remix is not really my thing, still very good for the uptempo folks. Starkey has some trouble keeping PupaJim's voice at the center of attention, too many synths fighting for space i'd say but i hear it's a crowd pleaser, so don't let me keep you from checking it.
